This is International Travel.
The Airline needs full names (as per passports), dates of birth and passport numbers.
How will the Airline be able to issue the tickets within three days of booking,
if the exact date of birth (in about three months) is not known?
The parents might tell the Airline what they intend to name the newborn (if they already know the gender and have decided on a name.)
If the parents did not try to find out the baby's gender, will the Airline accept:
"If it's a boy he will be Thomas, if it's a girl she will be Tomasina."?
